Patterson Fan Recommends 6 Blade HVLS Fans

PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 26, 2010 – Industrial ceiling fans are impressive to the eye. The amount of air they move is equally as impressive. Don’t be fooled by marketing that suggests more fancier appearing blades are better. Once the stratus of the air mass is mixed in a facility by fan circulation—it is mixed.

When you have industrial ceiling fans circulating air at approximately 275,000 to 300,000 CFM each, the difference of a couple of thousand CFM per fan in regards to air movement is negligible.  

Patterson Fan Company Inc recommends 6 bladed high volume low speed ceiling fans to circulate large air masses, not 10 blade fans. The reason being; both fans circulate air for the same large areas and the difference in comfort is not discernable.  What is noticeable is the immediate green affect on the environment and your company’s bottom line. The 6 blade fan has the advantage of being extremely energy efficient—a green leed certified product with significant operational cost savings. Known as “HVLS” fans, these large units are perfect for a variety of applications including, industrial, commercial and agricultural. Any where there is a large open space in need of air circulation, an HVLS fan is the answer.

Patterson’s HVLS fans are the industry leaders. To our knowledge, no other fan currently being offered, moves as much air for so little power. As far as we know, no other large industrial ceiling fan uses less aluminum, with the benefit of producing a smaller carbon foot print. The units are CE certified with available UL listings as requested and come with an outstanding 12 year warranty. See: http://www.pattersonfan.com/HVLSBigceilingfans.html for HVLS fan selection of 8’,10’, 12’, 18’, 20’ and 24’ models.

Patterson’s recommended HVLS fans have the added capability of operating in reverse. Companies utilize their benefits all year round. Obviously in the summertime the fans are operated for their cooling breeze. Fans can operate in reverse during the winter months, taking advantage of indoor environmental rising warm air.  Keeping the warm air mixed in the air mass helps control heating costs.

Air conditioning? Patterson further recommends adding air flow. By utilizing both high volume and high velocity fans, these same large air conditioning systems can be operated at higher ambient temperatures (approximately 10° to 15° F warmer) offering the same perceived comfort while saving energy costs and going greener.
